this group, please send it to Megan Ferry. The winner will
receive a PATH Intl. logo vest!

will, please email Megan or call her at (303) 452-1212, ext.

Welcome
to New PATH Intl. Staff Member
|
|
Meet Kara Barten, the
newest Member Services Representative at PATH Intl. She will be
handling all of the individual/instructor memberships, merchandise and
administrative support.
Kara moved from
Iowa to Colorado last year after graduating from the University of Iowa
("GO HAWKEYES!"), and she has been loving all that Denver has
to offer. In her spare time (we will make sure she doesn't have much!),
she enjoys keeping busy outside (hiking, camping, skiing), finding live
music around town, and catching up with family back home. "I am
very excited to be working with the great staff at PATH Intl.,"
she says, "and I will hopefully get a chance to meet some of
you!"
